AC-cut quartz transducers with resonant frequencies of 1 to 5 Mc/s were used with the usual ultrasonic technique. In fine-grained, low porosity rocks, very little compressional energy precedes S and there is no ambiguity in arrival time. No systematic difference exists between previous measurements on several of the same rocks made by Birch using resonant torsional vibrations of long cylinders. Chief advantages of the ultrasonic technique are the ease with which measurements may be made and the fact that both VP and Vs may be measured on the same specimen. Analyses of the data will be given in part 2. References Birch, Francis, The velocity of compressional waves in rocks to 10 kilobars, part 1,J. Geophys.
